Apple says its App Store fraud prevention mechanisms last year stopped potentially fraudulent transactions totaling roughly $1.5 billion.
Throughout 2021, the company prevented more than 3.3 million stolen credit cards from making purchases in the App Store, and banned nearly 600,000 accounts from ever transacting again.
The company also notes that in 2021 it rejected more than 1.6 million risky and vulnerable applications and app updates from the store, either for containing vulnerabilities that impeded functionality, or for requiring various improvements.
